Except my testing showed that your patch doesn't always avoid it.
That's why I wrote the test case. Please try the testcase with
your patch, and you will see that it fails. If it doesn't fail,
then I would like to see VERBOSE=yes output of the succeeding test.

Of course slow is better than broken. However, as far as I can see,
my patch fixes the failure for good, *and* avoids duplicate automake
reruns. Best of both worlds! :-) Or do you see any issue with it?
Thanks,
Ralf
